End of Year Teacher Gifts: Sweet Thank You Boxes for South African Teachers
Teachers spend more waking hours with our children during the term than almost anyone else. When the final week of school arrives in early December, a small thank you goes a long way. It does not need to be big. It needs to be thoughtful.
Why teachers love snack boxes
Teachers often receive mugs, candles and hand cream, and by year eight of teaching the cupboard is full. A snack box is different. It gets enjoyed, shared in the staff room or taken home for the holidays, and it never gathers dust.
Our White Mini Gift Box is a favourite for teacher gifts. It comes in a playful polka dot window box with a big red bow, filled with jelly beans, speckled eggs, nuts and a little chocolate treat.
Let your child write the note
The gift note is where the magic happens. Ask your child what they enjoyed most this year and use their words:
- “Thank you for making maths fun, Teacher”
- “You were the best Grade 3 teacher ever”
- “Thank you for helping me read big books”
We add the note to the box, so your child can hand it over proudly on the last day.
Gifts for the whole class team
Many parents like to include the class assistant, aftercare teacher or sports coach too. Ordering a few mini boxes together often pushes the order over R750, which means free delivery across South Africa.
When to order
South African public schools usually close in the first half of December, and private schools can close even earlier. Order in mid November so the boxes arrive comfortably before the last day.
If you live in Table View, Big Bay, Milnerton or nearby, you also benefit from our local delivery from our Blaauwberg office.
Choose a teacher gift and make the last day of term a little sweeter.
